Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 149: 147, Yang Jian
Daya City's main leg almost didn't sit back in the chair. Amon was a tough guy. He actually pulled a hat behind the scenes to bring the assassin over, and all the adults who had confessed in the hall were snapped in. The people were angry, but they looked at the Virgin with the help of their eyes, to see how she made her statement?
Maria stood up with a quiet face and took out her staff: “City State security is the responsibility of the Lord of the City and is handled by Imperial Decree! Isis Blessing Festival is imminent, do not be impatient, and the lords hurry to carry out their respective duties. The Temple of Isis also has a supervisory responsibility. Gabriel and Burke, you represent the Temple to the City Commander, do not have to intervene to ask the case, only supervise whether or not to dispose according to the law! ”
After saying this, the Virgin retreated to the rear palace with her staff. It was obvious that she had no control over the matter, but she would send someone to keep an eye on it. Daya City owner hurriedly went back to deal with it. If this disrupted Isis Blessing Festival, it would be a great sin.
……
The owner of Daya City drove back to the government hall with a group of people. Amon was sitting in the lobby with a sword in his hand and a broken table in front of him. Everything was scattered all over the floor. The Lord of Daya did not dare to go forward for a moment, but the High Priest of the Temple, Burke, frowned and asked: "Amon, as the Empire General, why did you rush into the court with a sharp instrument? ”
Of the three high priests of Isis Temple, George had the best personal relationship with Amon, while Burke did not take part in the frontline war and was the representative of the forces of the clergy group before the Virgin took office, the least confronted with Amon. Maria Paiburg came with Gabriel this time, demonstrating no partiality.
Amon replied with a grin: "The sword is the personal grace of His Majesty the Pharaoh. Even in His Majesty's car, I am wearing a sword. Besides, what about the chief of the city? ”
Everyone was stunned, and the General was telling the truth. In praise of Amon's merit, Rashith II authorized the General to accompany him with a sword. He could wear a sword next to Pharaoh, not to mention in the capital of the city, and Burke's questioning made no sense. John held his smile and warned, "General, you're here to make a confession. Do you have to give up your seat as Lord of the City? ”
Amon got up and returned the sword to the sheath, nodding his head: "Thanks for reminding me, I'm rude! Just out of anger, I also kicked the table of the city owner, I will pay for it later, please invite the city owner to sit down. ”
Everyone sat down and began to deal with Amon's accusations. Already so much noise, everyone wants to retreat a little, especially Daya City owners who want to rest in peace. In fact, it was very clear from the investigation that all the confessions were there and there was no contradiction or doubt.
Daya City owner asked: “General, this is a jealous misunderstanding in the brothel, clearly can no longer be clear, you have made such a scene, trying to teach anyone a lesson, enough to be angry. Goddess Isis' Blessing Festival is around the corner. Forget it, you didn't lose anything. I will ask you to make amends later. ”
Amon shook his head straight: “You can't do this if it gets out too bad. It is outrageous that General Ben fought for a girl in a brothel and captured so many people and demolished the residence of the deputy commissioner of the city. How can you be so restless? I don't suppress people with power. I only ask that they be dealt with according to the imperial decree. Let's convict them first! ”
The Lord of Daya City said bitterly, "How can you be convicted? ”
Gabriel snorted sideways: “Whatever can be determined, if the Great General is guilty, he will be found guilty of the Great General, and so will Sung Yi and others! ”
The Lord of Daya turned to Gabriel: "Do you think the Great General is guilty? ”
Gabriel said with his face: “The owner of the city should not ask me, I am merely supervising, not meddling in the case. ”
Amon answered and said, "In that case, ask me first. Sir, can the general go to the brothel and enjoy the song and dance? ”
Lord of Daya City: “Yes. ”
Amon: “I'm sitting there, and I only get a lot of money. Who am I messing with? ”
Daya City Lord: “No. ”
Amon: "Should I carry a weapon when I go out in the middle of the city at night, not on official business and without permission? I have Pharaoh's special permission, but I don't have a sword in the brothel. ”
Daya City Lord: "No. ”
Amon: “I drink so much, someone broke into the door with a handheld, is that right? ”
Lord of Daya: “Here's the thing. This is all a misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with you, it is Sung Yi who fought for a girl's jealousy and ran into the General! ”
Amon: "I don't want to talk to you about any misunderstandings. If you were sitting there drinking and someone broke into the door with a sharp arm, would you say he wasn't an assassin? What's wrong with John's hand and Longteng's arrest? ”
Daya: “Of course there's nothing wrong with that. It's true that Lord Sung Yi shouldn't, but you can't bite him with one bite and do it deliberately. ”
Amon: “You can't say that. It's not like I invited him in. The testimony of the people present was clearly written. Is he pointing a sword at me and saying I want to die? What does death mean? I don't think the Lord understands! This is not an assassination, how can it be an assassination? Do we wait until he really kills General Ben? ”
Daya City Lord: "The Great General is angry, I've made myself clear, Sung Yi that bastard doesn't know you, this is a misunderstanding! ”
Amon snorted, “I attended the official Dreamfield ceremonies publicly. As deputy director of the city, you said you didn't know me. Do you believe me? Even if he doesn't know me, isn't it the General's fault? Isn't he an assassin? ”
Daya City Lord: "But why did Sung Yi assassinate you? That makes no sense. ”
Amon laughed: “The Lord of the City has figured it out, it's for a girl in a brothel to fight for jealousy. ”
The sweaty Daya city lord finally sighed a little relief: “It was a small matter of fighting for jealousy in a brothel. Why is the general making such a scene? ”
Amon had another face: "Little things? Wind jealousy is true, but the assassination of General Ben is also an iron proof! How could this man not be severely punished for committing such a serious crime of assassinating the Empire General for the sake of the small matter of fighting for jealousy in a brothel? If things were bigger, I don't know how this kind of person would harm the people of the country! ”
John stood aside and said, "Lord of the City, the question is clear, and the case is corroborated. Sheng Yi, deputy director of the Mengfei City State Treasury Department, dared to assassinate the Empire General simply because he was jealous in a brothel. He's the main perpetrator. The rest of the armed perpetrators are accessories. You're not sure what the case is about? Was Sheng Yi premeditated, or was some of the adults in this room behind the scenes? ”
Daya - The slaughterhouse finally couldn't stand the scene and looked around with a crying for help. Don't look at all these grownups in the room complaining in the morning with a bunch of anger, but they're not squeaking anymore. If Ammon really bites to death and follows the law, this is the result, it depends on the general's reluctance to let go.
The Daya city lord scolded these guys in his heart, helplessly stood up and walked beside Amon, with ear whispers: “General, you must do this, it's not easy. Actually, we all know this is a misunderstanding, and you're right to beat them up, but stop. Otherwise, Lord Sung Yi is the nephew of the Imperial Chancellor...”
Amon suddenly raised his voice: “What? Lord Joseph, Prime Minister of the Empire! Does this have anything to do with the Chancellor? I can't hear you! ”
DAYA - The slaughterhouse was frightened, his face rose red, and he even backed away and waved: “Don't say anything, I didn't say that the Chancellor had anything to do with this, but Sung Yi is the nephew of the Chancellor, and everyone here knows it, I just want to remind you. ”
Amon stood up and pointed at John: "Thank you, Lord Daya! But does this have anything to do with whether Sung Yi can assassinate me? Look at this general, who was born and died on the battlefield, and was punished with slander for his words and deeds. If my uncle is prime minister, can he take on Lord John's military duties? ”
There are things that I fear to explicitly say, for example, that Sung Yi is the Prime Minister's nephew, and that it is indeed difficult to deal with, but this is only a private discussion and cannot be talked about in public. Amon simply clarified, who dares to say that Sheng Yi cannot be dealt with, even Prime Minister Joseph himself can not openly claim that?
Words have been forced to die, and there is little room for manoeuvre unless the Lord of Daya openly declares that he wants to injustice himself. Amon saw the difficulty of the Lord of Daya, and looked at the people and laughed: “Turns out you all know that Shengyi is the nephew of the Chancellor, and I am not having any difficulty with you. In this case, please send an official report to the Imperial Pharaoh, the Chancellor and the military ministry. Please show me what to do. ”
Speaking of which, Amon has produced a volume to the Lord of Daya City, which he wrote before he came, which is roughly as follows:
The great god Horus loves, guards Ehu, guards the dignity of the Empire, inherits the glory of Ann La, celebrates the great generals of the kingdoms, Arrocho Gate - Jesus - Messiah - and Hua La Ye - Montmont, left the territory just now to attend the Blessing Festival of the Isis Goddess in the State of Dreamfield. During the midnight feast in the city, assassins broke into the door with their swords.
It was found that the main culprit was Sheng Yi, deputy director of the Urban State Treasury Department, with dozens of accessories. The events and interrogation transcripts are clear and corroborated. Shengyi is the nephew of Empire Chancellor Joseph, and some of His Excellency Chancellor Yan is involved in this. How could the Imperial Chancellor be implicated in this? Ask his nephew what to do with it.
Ever since I returned home, I have rarely enjoyed the pleasure of the countryside, but some people have been jealous of the reward I have received from the Empire and His Majesty the Pharaoh for nothing. Am I not to be held accountable for assassinations at night? What's the point in sending a personal guard to take down an assassin, but a bunch of noble men took the opportunity to wreak havoc and gather people to accuse me of injustice? Call upon His Majesty the Pharaoh.
……
It takes almost a month to sweep the sail up the Ronnie River from Dreamfish to Deeds City, the Ecuadorian capital. Horse-riding along official roads along the banks of the river takes five or six days at the earliest, and will only be done when urgent papers are sent. Faster speeds are, of course, flying on a shuttle, which takes two days, and faster than a day if you're tired and use a flying reel to help.
Five days later, the Great General hurried, Isis blessed the Great Festival, to finish the matter before the ceremony was officially held, which was also the order of the Virgin. So Amon sent this instruction document to Deeds City as quickly as possible. As the document also sent a long sword bearing the family crest, a detailed record of the investigation and inquiry into the incident was attached, along with a list of not only the names of the main culprits and accomplices, but also the names of the adults who had gone to the capital to sue Amon.
The sword was Sung Yi's, landed in Ammon's liquor chamber, with a family crest on the handle of the sword, the most important physical evidence. Ammont wanted the messenger to take the sword and give it to Empire Chancellor Joseph.
The fact that Ammon did not submit a confidential letter but an open instrument surprised everyone a little, and the messenger knew the result as soon as he set out. No one will ever defend Sung Yi again, the deputy commissioner of the Treasury Department will surely be severely punished, and none of those involved will be able to escape, and the lightness of the punishment will depend on Amon's face. The Pharaoh will definitely give him this face because the Great General has shaken the matter away.
This instrument was given to Ecupharaoh Racis II, Imperial Chancellor Joseph, and the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs, respectively, and was also made public among Ecuadorian ministers. The Chancellor was furious, and he couldn't say anything about Amon. He just scolded his bastard nephew and publicly stated that Sung Yi's actions were a disgrace to his family.
Without waiting for Pharaoh to speak, the Chancellor took the initiative to ask Pharaoh to punish Shengyi and the people involved in the Chapel. Such actions are not commensurate with their noble status and are unforgivable. No matter how many conspiracies the Chancellor secretly commits, this has spread over the table and he has no choice but to do so.
Some of Ecumens have a good relationship with Amon. Some don't know Amon as a mere spectator. Many people can't help but cry out admiration. The Chancellor of Heart messed with the wrong people. Amon is a real knife shot out of the general, he doesn't play the trick of stealing a chicken and touching a dog with the Chancellor. This slap came directly back to Deeds City from Dreamfist, it was a shock.
Many people thought that General Amunda was targeting the Chancellor because he had secretly encouraged party feathers to impeach John, in fact hitting Amon in the face. Since the Chancellor took John's knife, Amon took his nephew Shengyi to account.
Prime Minister Joseph made a grieving speech in front of the crowd, and Pharaoh Rash II laughed when he saw Amon's book. He smiled at Joseph: "The Chancellor has no need to be sad. It is inevitable that such a large family will produce a few scum. I am pleased with your attitude and must be held accountable. Sheng Yi is the main offender and is severely punished according to the law. As for the others, it seems to me to be a misunderstanding, not a targeting of the General. And it is understandable that this letter impeached them all and had to be dealt with.
Shengyi slashes the crime, demeans the civilian population, is no longer a member of the noble family of the Chancellor, how else does General Amunda want to pursue the punishment, as long as it does not violate the law, he will do so. As for the rest of the persons concerned, all those who collaborate with the participants in the murder weapon shall be cut to the first degree or paid a fine to offset the crime. All those who gather against the false general shall pay a fine to apologize to the general. The exact amount depends on the general's personal dissatisfaction, which shall be handled by Mengfei City State. ”
Pharaoh's commandment severely punishes Shengyi and lightly disburses the rest of his accomplices. It was clear to Rashith II that Sung Yi's accomplices did not know at the time that it was a common fight, and that gathering people at night with murder weapons was a violation of city ordinances. However, due to the timely handling of Longteng, there are no serious consequences. If they are all treated like assassinations, the involvement is too broad.
As for the adults who went to the chief of the city and the temple to complain, the Pharaoh ordered them to reprimand, and the punishment was also very interesting, asking them to pay a heavy sum of money to the general. Anyway, it was generous, without Pharaoh paying for it himself, and Amon's face was fully paid.
The Pharaoh also named John and Longteng in his message and praised them for their loyalty. Though there is no actual reward for just verbal praise, it also qualifies the matter, and they broke Shengyi's legs not only for nothing, but also well played, should!
As an Imperial General, Amon has done well. The more he is shamed in the dark, the more he will be given face. Pharaoh was relieved when the general went to the brothel to drink and make a scene and ordered him to physically assault a city official. It is truly terrifying if the younger Amon knows to be patient and never make any mistakes or mistakes.
The messengers came and went extremely fast, and three days later Pharaoh's message was received from the Monfisher City State, as well as a message from the Prime Minister insisting that the murderer be punished. All the “murderers" were already in prison, and Daya Tu Yang did not dare to delay them. Immediately, he invited Amon to the chief of the city, and all the people involved brought him here to dispose of him.
According to the Ecumenical Decree, nobility offences may be defrayed by virtue of their seriousness, unless committed with treason. Sung Yi was dismissed, not only by removing all titles but also by depriving nobility of civilian status, which is a considerable punishment. Speaking of which, it was just a sword drawn in anger, and poor bastard dreamed of making such a scene.
The Pharaoh's Oracle also specifies that, if Amon feels uncomfortable, additional punishment may be imposed, subject to imperial decrees. The owner of the city of Daya asked at the time: "Grand General, would you like to impose additional punishment? ”
"Now that he has been dismissed as a civilian, I just want to give him a chance to do his duty by sending Sung Yi to the Ann La Corps to guard the border and join the corresponding battalion according to his birthplace," said Amon. Lord City Owner, is this against the Imperial Decree? ”
The Daya City Lord nodded: "Of course not, I think he should also thank the Grand General! ”
Under the Egyptian conscription system, samurai from the same area are usually divided into the same battalion. Amon wants to bring Shengyi to the Ann-La Regiment and to be divided into the units that Jules once commanded. The warriors there are the farmers' children of the old Jules estate, and they are also living and dying with Jules' cultivation technique as a child. Amon knew exactly what would happen if Sung Yi went.
